Although their only business so far has seen players leaving the club, it promises to be a very busy transfer window for Hull City .

Six loan players from last season are still to be replaced while the exits of Harry Maguire and Curtis Davies and the expected departures of a number of key first-teamers leaves new boss Leonid Slutsky needing to heavily invest.

At this stage it’s all talk but will any of those players touted for a move to the KCOM, actually make the switch?

With that in mind, Hull City writer Will Jackson lists those linked so far

Defenders

Tomas Kalas

The Chelsea defender seems destined to leave Stamford Bridge this summer and City are in the frame.

The Tigers face competition from Fulham, where he was on loan last season, but Leonid Slutsky hopes to use his links at Chelsea to bring him to East Yorkshire and talks have been held.

Marvin Zeegelaar

City were linked to the fullback in January and Portuguese news outlet A Bola have drawn the link once again.

The Dutchman is comfortably second choice at Sporting Portugal, and is believed to be assessing his options this summer, Newcastle United have also been linked.

However, while the Tigers are said to be interested, Zeegelaar rejected Norwich City last season because of their second tier status.

Ahmed Hegazy

The Al-Ahly centre-back is reportedly on Slutsky’s radar and the Tigers have even sent scouts to watch the Egyptian reportedly.

City reportedly face competition from West Bromwich Albion for the defender.

Charlie Mulgrew

Mulgrew is reportedly considering his future at Blackburn Rovers after they were relegated to League One and the Tigers and Middlesbrough have been linked.

The Scottish international would be an experienced choice having made over 200 league appearances in Scotland with spells at Aberdeen and Celtic.

Midfielders

Aleksandr Golovin

The Tigers and Arsenal are reportedly working together to bring the Russian international to England this summer. The deal would see Golovin sign for Arsenal before immediately linking up with his former manager Slutsky on loan for the season.

Golovin is regarded as one of the best Russian talents in the game and a deal could now move closer after Russia were eliminated early from the Confederations Cup this summer.

Lucas Piazon

One of several Chelsea youngsters Slutsky has been linked with. Whether it be a loan deal or something permanent it seems the path from Stamford Bridge to the KCOM Stadium could be well trodden this summer.

Piazon spent last season on loan at Fulham, where by all accounts he impressed, he has also been shipped out to Reading, Vitesse, Frankfurt and Malaga during his time at Chelsea.

Kasey Palmer

Yet another Chelsea player, Palmer has been marked as a star for the future at Stamford Bridge and they are eager to get the 20-year-old some game time on loan in the Championship this season.

Given Slutsky’s links to West London, City could be his destination and in the threadbare squad the midfielder could demand a starting spot.

Josh Windass

The Mail understands City have expressed an interest in signing Rangers midfielder Windass this summer.

Windass has struggled to make an impact since making the move up to Ibrox and is believed to be looking for a move south of the border.

Scott Arfield

The Sun claim City are one of three clubs chasing Burnley winger Arfield.

Sean Dyche may be unwilling to let the Canadian international go, but a bid of around £2.5m is believed to be enough to twist his arm.

Fred Onyedinma

City were one of a handful of clubs chasing the out-of-contract Millwall winger this summer. However, the 20-year-old is set to report back for pre-season training at newly promoted Millwall as talks continue over a new contract.

Forwards

Angel

QPR, Aston Villa, Reading and City have all been linked with former Real Zaragoza striker Angel Rodriguez.

The striker is available on a free transfer, but having scored 21 goals in the Spanish Segunda Division last season he could represent a real coup should City snatch him.

Izzy Brown

Brown played a key role in Huddersfield’s rise to the Premier League last season, arriving on loan from Chelsea and are thought to want the striker this season as well.
